I experienced this on and off for a week or two recently. It was horrible. Touch wood, it seems to have stopped now. I think mine was related to being more constipated than I realised (I was advised by a specialist who performed a scan for something unrelated). I took fibre supplements for a while, which initially seemed to help, then I think made everything temporarily worse (with the horrendous gas). When I stopped taking the supplements, everything seemed to have "fixed" itself though (as in, I still have all the old issues but the gas seems to have returned to "normal").

My husband actually finds it humor in it, at first he would get crabby but I explained that my IBS causes it and I can't help it. He jokes I could clear a room out in a second. God bless his soul at night because I am bad.
